Dendrobiums should be kept drier at the root, and exposed to more light and air after they have completed their growths; and if kept in a temperature of 60°, and just sufficiently watered to keep them from shrivelling, they will flower freely next season. D. Nobile is probably the best for dinner-table decoration; D. intermedium, much in the same way, is also excellent.

The best early-forcing Peaches are Stirling Castle, Violette Hative, and Royal George. These can be ripened by the middle of April. Walburton's Late Admirable and Barrington are two good late sorts. We have gathered the Admirable under glass as late as October 24th in East Lothian.
